Live in Corruption is a popular adult-themed "trainer" visual novel developed by Dirty Secret Studio. Heavily inspired by the classic adult title Cohabitation by Sid Valentine, the game puts players in the role of Calvin, an older man down on his luck who moves in with his best friend's family. The core gameplay focuses on Calvin's attempts to "corrupt" the women in the household through psychological manipulation and suggestive interactions. Key Gameplay Features

High-level synopsis

In a near-future metropolis ruled by an opaque coalition of corporate syndicates and charismatic demagogues, citizens are enrolled in a state-managed system called the Ledger — a mandatory reputation-and-resource platform that measures compliance, productivity, and “civic virtue.” The protagonist, Mara Voss, is a mid-level data auditor who discovers irregularities: deliberate manipulations of the Ledger that benefit a ruling cabal and systematically marginalize neighborhoods labeled “nonproductive.” As she digs deeper, she uncovers a hidden economy, secret rituals, and a movement that calls itself the Corruptes — not criminals in the conventional sense, but people who weaponize the system’s moral language to subvert it from within. Mara must choose between exposing the ledger’s rot (risking total collapse and violent purge) or learning how to live inside the corruption and flip it into a new, resilient order.
